Casamance!

It's so good to be back in Casamance and Ziguinchor, where it all began last year!
Modou stays with his family, and the rest of us with the sweet family Cissokho.
Since the Cissokhos are a griotfamily we're enjoying kora, beautiful singing and sweet attaya under the starry sky in the night.


Being a roadproject we decided that Lalo, Manjang and Suleiman (all Cissokhobrothers), Papis and Mouctar (friends aswell as musicians) would also play in the performance.
Now that we had the chance we also took most of the day to do a proper soundcheck, and prepare all the scenography.


We even got the time to make a poster for the performance!





Modou warming up the audience together with Lalo and the others.


And here's a piece of crabdance for you!


It's not that common to see contemporary dance in Senegal, but the audience seemed to like it...


...and the end, where Modou and Ege invite the audience to attaya, became a successful surprise!
